Fuckin' right they should be.

She can jump down from here if she needs a better angle, right? The armor can handle that, she seems to remember reading some kind of article about capabilities...

It doesn't set off any warnings when she's looking over the edge - it does tell her the height.

Permalink

Right. Let's go play with some monster lizards.

She jumps.

The raiders finish fleeing inside in the distraction created by her landing - a few helping move the wounded -

And the cat drops down beside her. "I'll lure them, you shoot?"

Permalink

"Sounds good to me," Ellie says, feathering the trigger to start the gun barrels spinning up. "Just, y'know, don't stop suddenly."

Permalink

"I won't." And she's off. 

Permalink

Ellie stands ready to light the targets up.

Permalink

And she leads them into Ellie's crosshairs.

Minigun go brrrrrrrt.

"Thanks for the save."

Permalink

"It was my pleasure. Nice to be useful for a change."

Permalink

"You don't strike me as someone who'd ever let herself be useless."

"I dunno how much you've picked up, but I wasn't exactly prepared to wake up two hundred years in a future post-apocalyptic hellscape."

Permalink

"Proof you're quick on the uptake."

Permalink

Permalink

"I'm Kathleen - or just Cat." Wink. "Ellie is a lovely name for a lovely girl."

Permalink

"Thanks. What's, uh, up with the cat thing, if I can ask?"

Permalink

" - That's a kinda long, complicated story. Let's get things settled here first, maybe?"

Permalink

"Fair enough."

Permalink

"What'd you talk about with the group we rescued?" she asks.
